April 2 1885
About year ago imprudently stepped otl
the Hudson X yer cars while they were IN
motion. In trying to save myself from a
fearful fall | wrenched my back terribly. The
NJ xt day | could not walk. sud suffered pain
from my neck to NV heels. Various applica
tons were made, but nothing which was done
abated my sutieriHg. Being anxious to get
up and attend to business, | determined TO
place three Ailcock's Porous Plssters, one
above the other, on nv back. In about an
hour and half they caused considerable
itching. The pain and soreness sen.ibly de-
creased. and rested pretty well that night.
The next morning the itching began TO be
quite severe under the plasters. To get some
relief, had my back well rubbed crossways
over the Piasters. | was surprised within
two hours afterwards to find the pain and
soreness almost gone | stayed in bed thai
day. and the morning afterwards got up and
attended to business. 0. Y. PETTMAN.

charity that will overflow the banks OF
selfishness until the evangelizing and
humanizing societies, stretching out
their kind arms, will at last press the
four quarters of the globe to then
bosom, until human sympathy-sweet
as mothers lullaby to drowsy babe
will extend the circle of its influence
until it is commensurate with earth S
| circumference.
Hope in recognition of woman as
mans equal in the dignity of labor,
in the eloquent words of the poet Of
the heart-the " sweet singer of Israel"
that "the needy shall not always be
forgotten; the expectation of the poor
shall not perish forever" that the
hour flies swiftly toward us when the
majority of men will have means and
opportunity ofglorifying thier Maker by
unfolding and developing their indi-
vidual natures. Hope that the serene
Sabbath of justice, and the sweet calm
Of " the greatest good to the greatest
number will succeed the storm Of
wealth's domination; that the love of
the imperishable soul will be greater
than love of perishable money. Hope
in the church-the crowning glory Of
the age-the great heart of which
throbs with diviner energy to-day than
ever before. Hope in the press,
"mightiest Of the mighty means, on
which the arm of progress leans"
Hope in the school-that the temples
of Minerva will multiply until light
streams where darkness reigns.
Hope in the new revelations of God,
science daily gives. Hope that the
dreams and prophecies of earth's pa
triot sages are not in vain, and that
the strength of freedom will prove
irresistible.
Hope that the grey streaks of ma
tional culture, and the growing purple
ofmoral achievement betoken the ten
der light and rising glorles Of a cloud
less day.
Hope in the gospel of hope and
hope in the God of our fathers.

BEFORE DEATH,
BY MARGARET J. PRESTON.

How much would care for it, could
know,
That when I am under the grass or snow.
The ravelled garment of life's brief day
Folded and quietly laid away;
The spirit let loose from mortal bars,
And somewhere away among the stars;
How much do you think it would matter
then
atpraise was lavished upon me, when,
Whatever might be its stint or store,
1t neither could help nor harm ME more /?
If midst of my toll, they had but thought
To stretch a finger. would have caught
Gladly such aid, to bear me through
Some bitter duty had to do;
And when it was done, had l but heard
One breath OF applause, one cheering
One cry of " Courage p amid the strife,
So weighted for me, with death or life
How would it have nerved my soul to
Through the whirl of the coming surge
again!
What use for the rope, if it be not flurg
Till the swimmers grasp to the rock has
clung?
What help in a comrades bugle blast
When the peril of Alpin's heights is past {?
What need that the squirting pRan roll
When the runner is safe beyond the goal
What worth is eulOgy's hlandest breath
When whispered in ears that are hushed in
death?
No! No! If you have but word of cheer,
Speak it, while am alive to hear

Cutting and Housing Tobacco.
IR. L. Ragland, Hyco, Va

[R. L. Ragland, Hyco, Val
Do not be in hurry TO begin cst
ting your tobacco until it is ripe, and
enough fully and uniformly ripe to fill
a barn. A thin butcher or shoe knife
we'll sharpened, and wrapped with a
soft cloth around the handle, and ex-
tending an inch along the blade, will
do the work effectually and be easy to
the hand. Try it. Put knives into
the hands Of experienced cutters only
men who know ripe tobacco, and
will select plants uniform in color and
texture, and will cut no other. Have
your sticks all ready in the field, and
placed in piles convenient-sticking a
stick vertically in the ground over
each pile that they may be more easily
found when wanted. Pine sticks,
rived teree -fourths of an inch by one
and one-fourth inch, and four and
one half feet long, drawn smooth, are
best.
Start together two cutters and one
stick holder-the cutters carrying two
rows each and the stick holder walk
ing between them. The cutter takes
hold of the plant with his left hand at
the top near where the knife enters the
stalk with his right he splits the stalk
down the center observing to guide
the knife SO as not to sever the leaves
to within three inches of the point he
intends to sever the stock from the
hill and as the knife descends his left
hand follows the slit or opening, and
when the plant is severed from the
hill, by a dexterous movement of the
left hand the plant is straddled across
the stick in the hands of the holder.
When the stick has received about
six medium plants, if intended tor
brights, it is ready to go to the barn,
either carried by hand if near, or
hauled on wagon if distant. If it is
necessary to use the wagon, prepare a
bed sixteen feet long to hold three
coops or piles, on which place tobacco
as cut, and after placing twenty-five
or thirty sticks OF cut tobacco on each
coop, drive to the barn to be unloaded.
Tobacco suitable for brights is best
handled in this way, as it is bruised
less than if handled by any other
mode. Try it planters and know for
yourselves. Very heavy tobacco will
break less if, after being cut by the
above mode, the sticks are placed
gently on the ground and the plants
allowed to wilt before removed to the
barn. But tobacco of medium size
bruises less to handle it without wilt
ing. Cutting and housing by thi'
mode you never have any sunburned
tobacco. For bsights, it has beer
found best to commence curing a
once, as soon as the barn can be filed
